The Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, located about 15-miles from downtown Tucson, has been rated as one of the Top 10 museums in the country and the #1 Tucson attraction. Most of this unique museum is outdoors with 98-acres combining botanical gardens (1200 types of plants and 56,000 individual specimens), animal life (230 species), natural history museum, and aquarium. Two miles of interpretive walking paths wind through various desert habitats, with spectacular views of the Tucson Mountains as the backdrop. We spent a day exploring the museum, and were lucky to be there on a pristine weather day – not too hot, not too cold, perfect for walking around outdoors. Who knew there were so many cactus varieties?
